The best way a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LP/VN) can prepare for a leadership position is to:
A) maintain a strong work attendance record.
B) work with culturally diverse staff and clients.
C) establish strong therapeutic relationships with clients.
D) complete education programs and attend workshops on leadership.
Ans: D
Feedback:
Completing online continuing education programs and attending workshops and seminars can also provide opportunities to learn and practice new leadership skills. A good attendance record is essential but does not help a person prepare to be a leader. Similarly, experience with persons of different cultures and strong relationships with clients are positive, but do not necessarily contribute to leadership skills.
